Rain, rain, go away!

Jared thought the day started today at 4:30 a.m. Since that time, he has taken one nap for a grand total of 20 minutes of sleep. I was hoping that today would be sunny and beautiful because it is easy to entertain a little boy in the park, but no such luck. Today is a dreary, dismal, rainy March Tuesday. Fortunately for me, there are two things that have never failed to keep Jared occupied. Well, three, but I can't feed him bananas and squash all day, right? What toy could keep a six month old occupied for more than five minutes at a time? No toy has ever equaled the appeal of mom's keys. . .

. . . nor the endless possibilities of a piece of junk mail.

Weather.com says that all of our readers are experiencing a dark, overcast day. That includes our devoted fans in sunny Tucson and our mystery readers in Iowa. Even though the clouds are dense and we're stuck inside, there has been plenty of sunshine. Here's a little bit to go around.

Jared has been sleeping for the entire ten minutes it took me to compose this post. Miracles do happen! Maybe there will be sun tomorrow.
